Amb. Paul Webster Hare, Senior Lecturer at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed for a widely-syndicate article on international reactions to the move by the Supreme Court in Venezuela to strip the National Assembly of its powers.

Hare was quoted in a March 31, 2017 article in Panorama entitled “Several Countries Criticize Maduro of Giving ‘Coup d’Etat’ in Venezuela.

From the text of the article:

Analysts warn of a “self-coup” or a move toward an “authoritarian model.”

“This is part of a coup that has been brewing with measures that were closing all the doors to the opposition to fulfill the role for which it was chosen” in Congress, said Paul Hare of Boston University and British ex-diplomat In Venezuela.

The article, and Hare’s quote, also appeared in Mundo on March 31, 2017.

Amb. Paul Hare teaches classes at Boston University on Diplomatic Practice, Arms Control, Intercultural Communication and on Cuba in Transition. In Spring 2016 he will offer a new class on Public Diplomacy. His novel, “Moncada – A Cuban Story”, set in modern Cuba, was published in May 2010. His book “Making Diplomacy Work; Intelligent Innovation for the Modern World.’ was published in early 2015.
